Beauty to Die For by Kim Alexis and Mindy Starns Clark




Juliette Taylor is a retired super model with her own line of spa products.  On her way to a conference at a world famous spa she runs into Raven, a former co-worker and super model.  Raven, definitely a selfish diva, has the potential to make Juliette’s weekend miserable, but before that can happen Raven dies during a mud wrap.  Was it murder?  And if so, who would want to kill her and why?  While running the conference Juliette tries to piece together the facts of Raven’s death.  In doing so, she finds herself in danger, too.

This novel  definitely took place in a different setting than most novels that I have read.  It was an entertaining read.  The plot was not too much of a surprise.  It seemed a bit formulaic.  The characters were interesting as much as they were developed.  I found myself drawn more to Crystal, one of the supporting characters, rather than the main character Juliette.  I would hope that a future book might include more of Crystal’s story, as her character had more depth and facets than Juliette’s.  If you enjoy a murder mystery with a bit of romance in a unique setting, you would enjoy this book.  I am grateful to the publisher for the free e-book and this is my honest opinion.
